★★★★★"My experience with Ms. Hope McGrath exceeded my expectations when I decided to purchase my apartment in Brooklyn. She skillfully managed to interact with and resolve the inevitable issues that arose among all the involved parties, the seller, building management, bank, attorney, and others. Her warm and friendly manner helped me clearly understand the best way to proceed throughout the purchasing process. I highly recommend Ms. McGrath to anyone who feels intimidated by the process of buying a home or apartment. I was too, and now I’m happily living in my new apartment."-- Roberto F.

"We are so grateful for all that Hope did for us during our search for a home in Brooklyn. Her expertise, empathy and perseverance made the experience of buying an apartment so much simpler and more fulfilling for me and my partner. Hope is a great listener and from our first phone conversation I knew that she got what we were looking for. As a native New Yorker, I really valued her conviction that raising a family in the city is amazing, and her understanding of the challenges of finding a place that is affordable and can be a long-term home. Through every phase of the journey, Hope provided actionable next steps for us and whenever there was a way she could make things easier, she did. We are super excited to be in our apartment and it was well worth the wait. We are recommending Hope to all of our friends and family."-- Zef and Sasha

"I only had a couple of weeks to rent my property and working with Hope completely exceeded my expectations. She made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. I chose to work with Hope because of her professionalism, and client care—and she absolutely lived up to it. She was approachable and responsive. From the renovations to choosing the tenant, Hope took the time to explain everything clearly. What surprised me most was the genuine care and attention to detail she brought to every step of the process. It truly felt like Hope was advocating for my best interests from beginning to end. I would warmly recommend Hope to anyone looking for expert guidance and top-tier service." - Ghyslaine D.

"We were in urgent need of selling our Co-op, as we were juggling two mortgages on a retirement income. With summer vacation approaching, we recognized that home buyers typically drift away from the market during this period. We had received great recommendations about the Bateman Fields Compass team, who were well-versed in our building. Hope McGrath played a vital role in making our sale happen. She had a deep understanding of the market and knew from experience that empty properties usually sold faster. Unfortunately, we couldn't sell it empty because we had to continue living there. As artists, our home was filled with stored paintings, collected art, various furniture, sculptures, performance costumes, and a wide range of art supplies—all organized and functional. While many realtors would just list the property, the Bateman Fields Team took a more proactive approach. They quickly created an engaging advertisement and reached out to potential buyers. Hope was present at every open house and even produced a video tour that highlighted our home from the moment you step inside, which she shared on social media. She kept us updated and maintained our spirits, ultimately finding the perfect buyer. Hope also recommended an excellent attorney and efficient art movers. Leaving the home we had built together was challenging, but thanks to The Bateman Fields Team, especially Hope McGrath for her persistence, transparency, hard work, and guidance, the experience turned out to be surprisingly AMAZING." - Raoul & Reynolds T.

On a professional level, Hope was completely dedicated to my apartment search and helped me find a place that fit my very specific requests. I was surprised by just how thorough Hope was in setting up my apartment viewings and felt that I could relax and ease into my search while she took care of the many small details. She was completely receptive to my needs and worked tirelessly to help me find the perfect space on a tight deadline and budget. On a personal level, Hope is extremely caring and wonderful to talk to, and I feel she truly wants to get to know her clients well to understand exactly what they are looking for. Hope made the demanding process of searching for an apartment completely manageable and easy, and I feel that her personality, warmth and expertise shined through the entire way." -Jake G

"Working with Hope was everything you need in a real estate agent. She goes the extra mile to make sure you feel comfortable in the process of home buying and renting. Working with her feels like working with a friend—someone who truly listens to you, is looking out for your best interest and will not rush you into a deal. She was very diligent in gathering and sharing listings, asking questions on my behalf and organizing a tour for me when I came to town when I was living out of the country. In one week of touring apartments in Brooklyn, Hope helped me find and negotiate the right one. She’s been super helpful before, during and even after the process and navigating this life transition. I look forward to working with her again in the future." -Omaris Z.

"When my husband and I decided to move to Brooklyn, a friend connected us to Hope and the Bateman Fields team. Coming from Texas, we needed all the help we could get. Hope went above and beyond to answer our questions, pack our week full of tours, and make the process as smooth as possible. Beyond that, working with Hope was fun. Her guidance and company made the experience 10x better. We found our dream apartment, and we've fallen in love with Brooklyn. Cannot recommend Hope and the Bateman Fields team enough!" -Danielle K. & Clayton W.

"I have sincerely enjoyed working with Hope McGrath and the Bateman Fields Team at Compass to purchase my condo in Brooklyn. As a first-time home buyer, the real estate process felt somewhat daunting, but Hope was always there to answer all of my questions, and to offer words of encouragement when needed. In the beginning of the process, Hope listened to me talk about my dreams of owning property in the neighborhood that I grew up in, and my frustrations about the rising cost of housing in Brooklyn. I could tell that Hope really understood my needs and concerns, and she worked tirelessly to find listings that were within my budget but also met my desired wish list. Additionally, Hope advised me every step of the way throughout the process, including attending open houses with me, providing recommendations for mortgage brokers, assisting with preparing and submitting my condo board package, and all the steps in between up until closing. Hope's real estate expertise and support is invaluable. I highly recommend working with Hope McGrath and the Bateman Fields Team at Compass!"-Kayasha L.

She was patient with all the open houses we attended, and asked me great questions to consider what I really liked or disliked about the units. She was always incredibly optimistic throughout the process and kept me excited to stay with it, while encouraging me to stay positive. Would absolutely recommend working with Hope and I plan to in the future!"-Paris F.
